Bilic to make £7m Antonio decision

nikica-jelavic_2164437c-2066864West Ham are more than hopeful that Victor Moses and Nikicia Jelavic will become Irons ahead of the transfer deadline tonight.

However Slaven Bilic is still coming to a decision on whether the club should splash out £7 million on Nottingham Forest wideman Michail Antonio.

The manager is uncertain if at £7 million the club should move for the 25 year old Wandsworth born player who scored 16 goals in 50 appearances for the club last night.

ClaretandHugh was told this morning: “That one is in the manager”s hands and the other two are 90 per cent done short of unforseen circumstances of course.

“This far we are very happy with the way things are going. It appears to be coming together very well and we now wait on the manager’s decision over Antonio.”

And David Gold tweeted by way of confirmation on the news that ClaretandHugh brought you yesterday and this morning: “Three new signings could be confirmed before the deadline, Tuesday 6.00 pm dg”

  1. Double worried about the spuds interest in Kouyate, I know it’s not the same topic but I had to get it off my chest lol.
    I think adebayour over Jelavic if we can do it.
    I’d rather we took Sisto then Moses as he stated last night he would decide today on whether he moves or not. Antonio I’d take because he fits the age criteria perfectly and is proven at championship level. Or actually Sisto over Antonio, I don’t know it’s happening so suddenly lol either way COYI

  2. Moses 99% done after he signed contract extension at Chelsea

  3. The Forest deal has stalled maybe cos of ^^^^^, this also means we have max amount of loan deals and Adebayor would have to be permanent

  4. “for the 25 year old Wandsworth born player who scored 16 goals in 50 appearances for the club last night.”

    If this is true, we will soon rule the world! 😉

  5. I say go for this guy from Forest. He sounds good and at a decent age. I think he could fit in well with this powerhouse team being built, and competition for all positions will be good.

  6. I,M glad someone saw that,should be dead by now.
